Just when Luke and Kryptonian Commander Faora were having a secret room conversation.
Little Cousin Clark, who returned to Metropolis, had a quarrel with his agent Lex.
"Godfather said, Zod can't possibly harm your parents, he is just a verbal threat."
Lex rubbed his temples and persuaded.
"Who can guarantee that he will not do this?"
Clark paces back and forth.
Acting anxious.
He doesn't have a girlfriend yet.
So for Superman.
The most important thing on earth is foster parents.
The thought of them falling into the hands of General Zod, they would probably be abused or beaten.
Clark feels restless and unable to calm down.
"You should trust Godfather's judgment."
Lex curled his lips, he also had a lot of things on his hands.
About that amazing battle a few hours ago.
White House has called several times, and the Pentagon even sent troops to surround Vought Corporation's building.
Federal Government's senior management couldn't wait to meet with Superman to get a definite answer.
A giant spaceship suspended in near-lunar orbit, Kryptonian masturbating with bare hands...
These are like time bombs that will explode at any time.
No one likes to live in a room full of minefields.
"Of course I believe my cousin! But... I'm more afraid of accidents."
Clark scratched his head vigorously, like a severe insomniac.
He was obviously very sleepy, but he couldn't lie down because the work was not completed.
He was originally waiting for Luke's action, but two hours had passed and there was still no news from his eldest cousin.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Lex's eyes flashed, as if he wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it.
"Take the initiative to contact Zod to confirm the safety of my family!"
Clark seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at Lex and begged, "I need your help, Lex!"
"Okay, then what should I do, or what do you want me to do?"
Lex thought for a moment and asked helplessly.
"Send a message to Zod's spaceship."
Clark looked at the shadow reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows and said in a deep voice.
Twenty minutes later, Clark stood quietly on the empty and desolate yellow sand Gobi.
The message sent by Lex quickly received a response from General Zod.
The latter demanded that Clark must board the spacecraft and have a face-to-face conversation.
It sounds very dangerous. Going into the dragon's pond and the tiger's den alone is not a wise decision no matter how you look at it.
But Superman, who defeated Kryptonian warrior, agreed directly without thinking.
He is still a seventeen-year-old boy, far from mature and calm.
In the distant sky, an aircraft flew across low altitude at extremely fast speeds, kicking up violent sand and dust.
Clark squinted his eyes and saw that the landing UFO looked like a beetle.
The whole body is black and has a biological-like structure.
There is a wild atmosphere in the elegance, and it has a completely different design style from earth civilization.
The hatch opened, the floating ladder was lowered, and two Kryptonian warrior wearing black armor walked out.
One of them revealed his face and said, "Carl-Al, I am Explorer Ilton, and I would like to say hello to you on behalf of General Zod."
"Is it just you?"
Clark nodded, his eldest cousin was interrogating the two Krypton prisoners, and Lex was of no use.
He felt he could solve the problem alone.
Explorer Ilton said nothing more.
He took a deep look at Clark, and then led him into the aircraft.
He did not ask about the whereabouts of the commander Faora who was captured alive, or the other Kryptonian warrior.
The fertility code is the top priority, other things can be put later.
All Kryptonian who are loyal to General Zod are the henchmen who once followed the other party to carry out an iron-blooded coup and led the resistance army to try to overthrow the corrupt rule of Krypton.
After the failure, they were exiled to the phantom space together, spending endless darkness.
It was not until Krypton was destroyed that it was liberated.
When they woke up from the dormant cabin, everything they saw was the ruins of Krypton.
The icy meteorite belt floats in the void, and the home that they used to rely on for survival is no longer there.
The huge blow made everyone feel discouraged. It was General Zod who boosted everyone's fighting spirit and led them to modify the light speed propulsion engine and escape from the dead area.
"General Zod is looking forward to this meeting."
Elton looked at young Clark and whispered.
The former homeland has turned into a dead place, and the glorious civilization has become dust.
In the vast and endless dark universe, there are very few people of the same race with the blood of Krypton.
boom!
The beetle aircraft suddenly soared into the sky and turned into a blurry afterimage.
Quickly break through the atmosphere and rush out of the blue planet.
"Arrived."
Ilton loosened his seat belt, the aircraft slowed down and docked with the giant spacecraft.
Follow the lower space and enter the spacious cabin.
Clark follows in the footsteps of Explorer Ilton to bring an empty bridge.
A strong figure wearing black armor stood alone on a semicircular overlooking platform.
Under his feet was a huge celestial body exuding beautiful vitality.
"This is General Zod, our leader."
Explorer Ilton said with a respectful tone.
"So strong..."
Clark looked at the other party, in his perception.
General Zod exudes a terrifying aura, like a silent active volcano, which makes people feel heart-stopping.
"What are you going to talk about? Threatening my family, or besieging me? You can use tricks like kidnapping, the methods are really despicable!"
Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Clark asked coldly.
"How dare you disrespect the general!"
The Kryptonian warrior who gathered around were furious and shouted in unison.
In their hearts, General Zod is Great Leader who leads them to rebuild their homeland, and they cannot tolerate anyone's contempt.
"Elton, let us forgive Carl for being rude. He is not yet familiar with Krypton's etiquette."
General Zod stopped everyone's angry rebuke and said in a deep and powerful voice, "We have welcomed a new compatriot. This deserves a good celebration and no useless quarrels."
Clark was expressionless, his Super Vision was in the spaceship.
It appears to be severely restricted and unable to penetrate the cabin walls at all.
"I..."
Clark was about to say something, but an extremely strong feeling of discomfort suddenly surged through his body.
The sound he heard became noisy, like a bunch of sharp noises, irritating the eardrums.
The vision of the eyes gradually blurred, and the light blurred into a hazy scene.
A feeling of weakness arose spontaneously, filling his strong body.
"I... feel a little uncomfortable."
Clark said with difficulty as if his strength had been drained.
Just like facing Kryptonite radiation, his body shook, he stood unsteadily, and fell to the ground suddenly.
Seeing the son of an old friend kneeling in front of him, with a trace of blood dripping from his lips, Zod couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic smile, "You have spent a long time adapting to the environment of the earth, but now you cannot accept your home planet."
"Carl, if you want to get rid of this pain, you can only rely on your own will and strength. No one can help you."
Clark could no longer hear Zod's voice. The unfamiliar atmospheric environment almost made him suffocate.
The feeling of weakness came in waves like a tide. Superman fell on the cold metal ground, and his groggy consciousness slowly sank into darkness.
When Clark opened his eyes again, he found himself in Kansas's farm.
This is the place where he grew up, and everything is so familiar.
"Hello, Carl, maybe you prefer me to call you Clark."
Zod's voice startled the dazed Clark.
He slowly stood up and looked around at the scene.
Confirmed that this is Kansas's farm, the warm family in my memory.
"I was the military leader of Krypton, and your father was the chief scientist of our planet. He was very outstanding and had extraordinary foresight."
"The only thing we agree on is that Krypton is about to be destroyed."
"At that time, I tried to prevent all this from happening and preserve the fire of Krypton civilization, but the reward was that my subordinates and I were exiled to Phantom Zone - the dead place in the universe!"
Zod Facing the son of his old friend, he seemed to see Jor-El again.
The man who, like him, tried to protect Krypton.
But in the end, they each chose different paths.
"The destruction of Krypton allowed me to regain my freedom. We were supposed to drift among the debris of the planet until we died, but we are not willing to do this!"
Zod sighed.
He and his men fell into despair.
But Rao was above, and the gods favored Krypton after all, allowing them to survive by chance.
"How did you find Earth?"
Clark asked with a frown.
He didn't understand how Zod and his group came to Earth.
In the vast universe, there are no clear coordinates.
Trying to find this blue planet is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"We modified the aircraft thruster into Light-Speed Engine. Your father made similar modifications to send you to Earth."
"The tool that once imprisoned us saved us in the end. I have to say, it's really a trick of fate."
Zod had a complicated look in his eyes and continued.
"We scoured old colonial outposts looking for signs of life, but found nothing."
"They were abandoned after losing contact with Krypton. We took away all the resources we could use, including armor, weapons, and World Engine... We spent seventeen years in this difficult way until a distress signal was detected not long ago."
"You brought us here, Carl."
General Zod looked at Clark with eager eyes, just like a traveler in the dark who sees the light of a lamp.
"Now you have the ability to save our race. All unborn children on Krypton have their genetic genes written in the citizen files, which is the 'Fertility Code'."
"Your father stole it and hid it on you."
Clark was a little confused after hearing this. He didn't know his true identity at all.
So, I subconsciously asked, "Why did my father steal the fertility code?"
"Because in this way, Krypton can be reborn on earth!"
Zod A flash of enthusiasm rose in his eyes, he waved his hand, and a huge thing fell from the sky.
Three huge metal supports stood on the ground, with a dazzling energy beam erupting from the center.
The ground surface was shaken violently, sending up huge clouds of smoke and dust, completely destroying Clark's familiar farm hut!
Superman, who witnessed this scene, seemed to understand something.
"Tell me Carl, where is the fertility code?"
In the doomsday-like scene, Zod asked sharply.
"If Krypton is reborn, what will happen to the earth?"
Clark asked back.
"The new life of civilization always needs to be built on destruction. Even your father understands this."
Zod's voice was cold.
He is Kryptonian.
Of course they don't care about the life and death of the earth.
For General Zod, rebuilding his home is the only hope in his life, and no one can stop him from moving forward.
"No, Zod, I won't help you."
Clark shook his head and refused.
He saw the devastation around him.
If Krypton is really reborn, the price paid must be all life on earth.
"So who will you help?"
The scene changed again, and endless skeletons covered the ground, gradually pulling Clark down.
Zod is condescending, looking down at the son of his old friend.
This dream ended here, and he had gotten the answer from the other party's mouth.
"Your father was willing to sacrifice his life for honor, Carl."
When Clark opened his eyes again, he found that he was locked on a metal table.
Zod looked at him lightly, with a hint of regret in his tone.
"I told you, my name is Kakarot, and I don't know you at all."
Clark corrected.
He is not some Kryptonian.
"Whoever you are, hand over the fertility code! Otherwise you will pay the price!"
Zod said coldly.
From the moment he was born, he was programmed with the genetic template to protect Krypton.
For this great goal, everything else can be sacrificed.
After giving Clark a deep look, Zod turned around and left.
He knows very well what a emotionally troubled character like Carl cares about most.
Therefore, we are not worried that the other party will not give in.
When you get Codex of Life, you can take the first step to rebuild your home.
Krypton will be reborn on this blue planet. Zod slowly came to the empty observatory, his heart full of longing for the future.
"Does he agree to cooperate?"
Explorer Ilton walked behind General Zod.
In the eyes of Kryptonian, the earth's civilization is backward and weak, and it is not difficult to conquer it.
But the key lies in how to rebirth the shattered and extinct Krypton civilization!
Originally, Zod and his group thought that they were the only remaining Krypton bloodline in the universe.
But fate gave them a huge surprise.
Jor-El's son sent a summons to the vast galaxy and brought them to the blue planet.
The most fortunate thing is that the fertility code that governs the Krypton gene code is also in the hands of the other party.
All of this seemed to be destined, giving Zod hope again.
Rebuild Krypton!
"Carl, like his father, always cannot see the truth of things."
"That child rejected me. He had too many feelings for the people on Earth and couldn't figure out which side he should stand on."
Zod put his hands behind his back and said with a frown.
Clark's lack of cooperation was as expected.
For the young and inexperienced son of an old friend, he was tolerant and chose to give the other party more time to think carefully.
"So what do we do?"
Explorer Ilton asked.
"Carl needs to realize a problem. We are his compatriots, and those people on earth will only regard him as an alien!"
Zod sneered. He had a general understanding of Superman's situation through information on the Internet.
"As for the fertility code, he will leave it to me obediently. He cares too much about the lives of those on earth. This is a fatal weakness."
Explorer Ilton understands the meaning. If necessary, the human couple can be used as a threat.
General Zod didn't get it straight because he didn't bother to use such despicable means.
But Clark is too stubborn and would rather abandon his compatriots to protect the earth.
In the eyes of Zod, who regards Krypton and honor as extremely important, this is simply stupid behavior!
"I understand."
Explorer Ilton nodded, and then asked, "Then Faora and the others..."
"Rebuilding Krypton is the top priority. Even if they die, it will be a worthy death!"
Zod waved his hand and said coldly.
Explorer Ilton sighed secretly and left the overlook.
Zod stood alone on the bridge, staring at the earth.
His desperate Mind Stone finally found peace.
The mother planet he swore to protect was shattered before his eyes.
This almost made Zod lose hope of living.
The only mission and responsibility in life was erased in this way. Kryptonian General, who escaped from Phantom Zone, wandered in the dark universe like Spectre.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, a bright light broke into Zod's sight.
An energy aura similar to an astronomical wave appeared in his perception.
It was like a giant beast from the deep sea that was suddenly invaded.
Zod instantly became alert, his muscles all over his body tensed, and he entered a fighting state.
Did people on Earth launch nuclear weapons?
Zod thought so.
That is the most powerful military weapon known to earth civilization, and it is also the only thing that can cause damage to Kryptonian.
Rumble——
The dazzling light quickly broke through the atmosphere, like a fleeting golden lightning.
In an instant, he arrived in front of Kryptonian Spaceship.
This time, Zod finally saw clearly the true face of the dazzling light——
The dark red cloak fluttered in front of his eyes.
ps: Before the Chinese New Year holiday, there should be only one update, with more or less word count, ranging from 2,000 to 4,000. The arrears of updates have been postponed from this year to next year. I can only say that it is worthy of me.
Because I have to be busy with the KPI assessment at the end of the year, the industry is in a slump this year. Big companies are cutting leeks, and small companies have no leeks to cut. There are fewer and fewer krypton gold bosses. There is a national war. The game has been directed and acted for several hours and there are only a few wild tycoons. Woo woo (_)
Today I saw my colleagues being criticized at a meeting for being inactive and having ideological problems. This is a terrible world.
